The Way The War Was Won

Runnin as fast as I can

Can't even see where I am now

Over the soldiers and sand

This wasn't part of the plan

I never see the dawn

Although I know it comes

If I ever see blue skies in my town

You know I'll kiss the ground we walk on

If I ever watch fire flies all around

Shining like the stars above them

The bullets fly over head

Just like the words you said, son,

So put down your guns

And thats the way the war was won

Over the edge and beyond

Over the border there's no bombs

Falling on soldiers and sand

Holding their hearts in their hands

If I ever see blue skies in my town

You know I'll kiss the ground we walk on

If I ever watch fire flies all around

Shining like the stars above them

The bullets fly over head

Just like the words you said, son,

As we put down our guns

And thats the way the war was won

If I ever see blue skies in my town

You know I'll kiss the ground we walk on

If I ever see fire flies all around

Shining like the stars above them

The bullets fly over head

As I lie awake in my bed

I just can't forget what you said, son,

As we put down our guns

And thats the way the war was won

Was won

The war was was won
